What do you exactly mean by "it seems that does not open by itself, we must open it from Maps"?
[Android Apps and Games] sgs9k:
Here you are. Installed, version is correct.

Haven't done any further testing. Will monitor my battery level with Latitude on. Let's hope it really does improve battery usage as claimed. :)
[Android Apps and Games] mammenj:
This is not the mod version, don't install if you want navigation outside US.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
This is NOT an ownhere modded version. Anyone installing this could have gone to Market and gotten it for less effort.
[Android Apps and Games] hecabe:
The App Navigation, dont open. A message say "Open with Maps"

The Only way to open Navigation it's in Maps.

This exactly what do I mean.
[Android Apps and Games] darkguy2008:
What's the difference between the onwhere mod and the normal, maps->get directions (which launches the navigation) anyways?
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
In certain countries google navigation does not work. The ownwhere version is hacked to allow navigation to work in any country.

[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
I have poked around the Chinese forums myself and every 6.1 version i have downloaded had been the original UN modded version.

As for getting navigation to open on it's own I had to revert back to ownwhere 6.0.2
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
ownhere Maps 6.1.0

Still no sign of the 6.1.0 ownhere version? I just read up on creating the update.zip so I'll be happy to create one for it as soon as the apk gets posted.

does the GM 6.0.3 ownhere version have offline map caching capabilities?
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
yes.. in the labs just enable it then pre-cache the areas you are interested in.

im using a samsung galaxy s2 which has not been rooted or anything,, do i need to remove the old google maps prior to installing this brut gm?
[Android Apps and Games] jr_718:
They have one for non rooted devices you just have to wait.. And not really.. You font have to uninstall . Its just going to replace.
[Android Apps and Games] coyote.stark666:
ummm so you are sayin that i have to wait for a brut-gm.apk for non rooted device ??:( when will that release?

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

I read previous posts and it seems that many have uninstalled the inbuilt google map app, why do that? IM confused noww
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
Just look at the OP and you will see the install instructions. For non root just use the non-root version which will install a 2nd maps.apk to your data dir. You will then have 2 map apps. 1 is the unmodded one and the other is the modded 6.03 one. There is no issues with having them both installed at the same time. I believe the icon of the modded one will have an o in the picture to distinguish it from the original.

Here is the one you want to dl http://db.tt/Bc5l0kjK (Version 6.0.3 from OP)

The need to have a rooted device is to delete or overwrite the original one that is in the /system dir and not delete able unless you have root.
[Android Apps and Games] minalove:
Good job...!!! :) :) :) :) :)
[Android Apps and Games] coyote.stark666:
thanks soo much,, i used it ,, the navigation facility works really well on wifi :D,, but the navigation doesnt seem to work offline eventhough i pre-cached the area (via wifi) i wanted to navigate to,, thanks for replying fellas
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
Well, here's the thing about offline navigation... it does work if you pre-cache the map areas but the problem is that the routing requires online access. This means you have to calculate the route with a net connection and then on your journey if you lose signal you will still have the navigation working. I know this seems kinda lame but that's just how it is. I think they might be adding more to this with the latest 6.1.0 but we don't have a modded version yet to test out and I'm in a country that doesn't allow me to test the official version.

navfree is free and also has offline nav.

[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
How to mod maps.apk

The how-to mod the maps.apk can be found here

but remember that you will need a little bit of experience or some time with trial and error as well as will need to test your results to make sure they work.

I might give it a go soon as I am managed to download the needed tools from here

Also, here is another tool written by brut.all that might be helpful but I'm not yet sure it's needed for this project.

does this come with offline routing??? :confused: ,, and why have the chinese given up ??:eek:
[Android Apps and Games] :No-Frost::
From what I understand, Ownhere hasn't give up the mod, however, he hasn't updated the app yet. We will have to wait for it or mod the app ourselves.

I will try to do it as soon as I have enough time. :) Not sure if I can do it though but I will try :D

Thank you.

The 6.0.3 version works on my HTC Sensation in Taiwan.
[Android Apps and Games] naveenhv:
For some reason, i am just not able to install 6.0.3 on my S2. Its rooted and i am on 2.3.6 latest firmware. I have tried all the methods mention in this thread but after running the installation, it still says "Application not installed" . Can somebody help me please?

Can somebody point me to 6.0? I can at least try that.
[Android Apps and Games] stian230:
You tried ADB? It's the best way to go.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Are you trying to instal the signed versionof 6.0.3 using root explorer?

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
I have always used rootexplore to install all these brut.all maps and had few issues until 6.0.3 came around. At that point things stopped working correctly. I has issues with the files being recognized after reboot and also the "navigation" function could not be started on its own. I have since reverted back to 6.0.2 and all is working as it should.

I am doing all this on a rooted sg2.

I want to also add that I had issue even using rootexplorer to install the 6.1.0 version that was recently posted for testing. I made it into a cwn.zip file and was able to install it that way but soon confirmed that the navigation is not enabled.

Would anyone like to explain why there would be any difference between using adb or rootexplorer to add the maps.apk to the system/app folder? I never use adp and always use rootexplorer as with adp I need to hook the phone up to my computer which seems unnecessary.
[Android Apps and Games] naveenhv:
I tried ADB. Tried both install and push. Both didn't work. Just want to confirm for push, i tried ' abd push maps.apk /system/app' Is this correct? The error when i get when i try this is 'Read-only file system'. Do i need to mount it manually? Can someone post the commands?

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I tried both files on the opening post using Super Manager. Both didn't install. After the installation runs, i get a message saying 'Application did not install'
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
You need root to make the system dirs writeable. I can't remember the nuance of using adb but maybe need to issue su command to enable superuser... I'm sure others will chime in.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Use Root Explorer on your Android to find the 6.0.3 SIGNED version and then tap it to install. I never had any problems doing it this way. But if it is not working then use Titanium Back up to select your existing MAPS and then UNINSTALL it via Titanium then repeat the installation process using ROOT Explorer again. Do a reboot after installation.
[Android Apps and Games] naveenhv:
I did the exact same thing. Instead of ROOT Explorer, i used a free Root filesystem explorer software which does the same thing as ROOT Explorer. I uninstalled MAPS from Titanium and clicked on Install of the SIGNED version of 6.0.3. The installation runs but at the end, it says 'Application not installed'.

Do i need to buy ROOT explorer now? Does it do anything special that any free software doesn't do?
[Android Apps and Games] valexi:
Still no 6.1.0 version? :(

They have made it so much faster before.
[Android Apps and Games] angusc:
Did you do a reboot after uninstalling the original maps? That's all i can think of....i don't know if there are any advantages of root explorer over your free file manager.....what about ES File Manager.....that one is free.

Sent with Desire.
[Android Apps and Games] etoy:
did someone already try to mod the apk themselves?

i decompiled both original and owhnere 6.0.3 and compared them..it's over 1000 different files?!? is it true?

i don't know how exactly repeat the mods over decompiled 6.1.0. thought it would be a little easier :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
Did you see the instructions posted in post#2? Not all the files need to be modded. I'm sure most of the changes are from the maps app itself. You just need to make the change to allow global nav.

And yes... if you look a few posts back you will see that the OP tried and posted an attempt to mod the 6.1.0 but it doesn't seem to allow global nav.
[Android Apps and Games] naveenhv:
I think i rebooted the device. But i cannot remember exactly. I tried in ES File Manager as well. Strangely, i got version 4.6.0 and tried installing. It worked. So i am guessing the issue is with the 6.0.3 apk file. Did anyone else face this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] etoy:
i've read everything, obviously. what i was asking is: why so many changes between mod and original maps of the same version if not all of them are needed? i was trying to isolate the needed differences but they're over 1000..
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
As I posted a few posts back... I did also have this issue and ONLY with the 6.03 and this newly test version of 6.10. I never had issues with older versions and have since gone back to 6.02 as it seems to work the best for me on my sg2.

I might add that the one way I have found to get past the install issue it to create a cwm update.zip file and update it that way.. That seems to work. Once a working 6.10 is released I will create the .zip and post it.
[Android Apps and Games] naveenhv:
Can you let me know where i can find 6.0.2? At least let me try to install that. Currently i don't have maps at all
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
6.0.2

I just rename to Maps.apk and copy to the system/apps dir overwriting the maps.apk that is already there. Then reboot. Voila. Now you should have ownhere 6.0.2 will unlocked navigation.
[Android Apps and Games] szihs:
6.1.0

I tried to myself patch the apk and hope it works for all. *and if it doesn't pls don't blame me*, i tried that's all .. :p

Thanks to - ownhere and Brut.all as always.
[Android Apps and Games] shrike011:
Works for me! Thank you mate :)
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
I was having that same issue on my sg2.. here is how to get past that error

adb shell

$ su

# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl9 /system

# exit

$ exit

then do

adb push maps.apk /system/app
[Android Apps and Games] Jayman007:
I just cannot get this to run on my sg2. I have tried every install method possible. adb push to /system/app , root explorer copy to /system/app, of course tried to just install the apk as well as sign the apk and try to install that. Tried to adb install. I even made a cwm.zip and flashed that but still won't run.

I have included the .zip here in case anyone else finds it helpful. I just don't understand why my sg2 won't take this update as well as the 6.03. I have no problems with the older versions but these latest ones just won't run.
